Digitalization and the Future of Work
“I look forward, therefore, in days not so very remote, to the greatest change, which has ever occurred in the material environment of life for human beings in the aggregate.”
John Maynard Keynes (1933)In a remarkable letter to his imaginary grandchildren, economist John Maynard Keynes envisioned a world where men are freed from painful work and were able to focus on abundant leisure in 2030. In the next decade upon us, he imagined, we “can look forward to the age of leisure and of abundance without a dread“. Yet while machines, robots, or algorithms are thought to solve very many of today´s problems, there is a growing unease that the algorithmic economy will not be as pleasant as Keynes conceived of. Evidently, as Derek Thompson wrote for The Atlantic, “while many people hate their jobs, they are considerably more miserable doing nothing.” Hence, the conundrum pertains as to what the consequences are that an increased digitalization and computerization of work will bring about.
Predictions range from a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (Roberto Saracco) to the end of the human race (Stephen Hawking). While it is certainly conceivable that digitalization brings very many changes to the better, many arguments to the contrary are equally popular. As we are in somewhat uncharted territory, it is about time to replace fear and personal opinion, with scientific evidence. The goal of this seminar is therefore to understand the changes and consequences that digitalization poses for the individual worker, companies, HR policies, and collective societies.
1) The Platform Economy and Gig Work
2) Gig work and entrepreneurship
3) Measuring the Gig Economy
4) Working in uncertain times
5) Consequences of Gig work for employees
6) Workplace automation and job creation/destruction
7) Economic consequences of technological change
8) Labor Market Polarization
9) Skills for the digital age
10) Big Data and HR Analytics
11) HRM and new technologies
12) Digital Leadership

General information:
This course will be held online via Moodle.
(1) There will be an introductory meeting of this seminar on 11.03.2020 in room SR 5. During this meeting, we will check the topic assignments. Thus, attendance is absolutely necessary. “No-show”-students may be replaced by students registered on the “waiting list” who agree to comply with the seminar rules.
(2) Complete attendance of each session of the seminar is obligatory. Absolutely no exceptions apply. Leaves will only be granted in cases of illnesses or if the person demanding a leave is required to participate in an official activity of the University, Faculty, or Institute. In the first case, the doctor’s medical certificate must be presented to the group’s office immediately (i. e. latest by the first working day following the absence day). Failure to comply with this rule leads to a no-pass grade. Passing grades can generally not be earned by students who miss more than 20% of the total class-time.
